Easy Two Balloon Spider



For this one you need 1 160 and 1 5" spider eye round.

Partially inflate the round.  Twist off a 3 inch bubble for the head and then turn the rest into a pinch twist by tying the knot around the middle.

Inflate the 160 leaving a 4-5 inch tail.

Make 4 sets of poodle style legs  2 1/2 inch bubble, 2 1-inch bubbles - another 2 1/2 inch bubble.
make a pinch twist and center it in the middle of the 4 sets of legs.  Remove the excess balloon and tie off.  The legs will still be a bit off and not flat.  Adding the body will take care of that.

Twist the center of the body around the middle of the legs.  Position the pinch twist on the bottom under the spider and the body on top.

Marker as desired.

Bendy Snake

A bendy snake.  For days when you can't make a spiral for kids who want a longer snake.

Balloon Heart

Let's make a heart.  There are other methods, this is just the one I prefer.



Add a flower, bird, love bug, teddy bear...anything you can think of to dress it up and make it special!

Basic Balloon Dog

Like the six petal flower, this dog is a little harder than the 3 fold dog, but the result more than makes up for it with cuteness!









Make a Basic Balloon Hat

The basic balloon hat can stand alone, but it's also the shape so many cool hats are built around





Basic hats are great for making fun sculptures.  Just add heart, flowers, pre-printed balloons or even just long straight balloons that will “dance around while you walk.

The Lock Twist



This is the basic twist for most creations.  Friction between the bubbles is what holds or locks it into place.
